Every LEGENDARY Pokemon: Good to Evil
Ever since 1996, the Pokemon series has had a huge cast of legendary and mythical Pokemon. From being proudly being displayed on the box to being the focal point of a major motion picture, legendary Pokemon and their surrounding lore have been deeply connected to the heart of adventure and discovery that make the series special.
The games have catalogued so many of these titans, it can be almost impossible to keep track of them all. But what of these legends and myths have the world’s best interests at heart, or simply want to rule it for themselves? Let’s find out!

Love the channel and content alot. Keep up the great work.
Raikou, Entei and Suicune are actually Cats. Sorry Pokebinge
You have to remember that after being defeated and calmed in Legends Arceus it became a better being. Giratina was the one to stop Cyrus from destroying the entire universe even if it unintentionally brought some problems
Also are the people of Ultra Space the real antagonists. They were the ones taking advantage of Necrozma's abilities so cruelry which caused the pokemon to go berserk

Do the every ghost type good to evil for this Halloween pls
I’d like to imagine arceus as a true neutral. It doesn’t seem like a benevolent god, it just feels like it knows its role in the universe and fulfills it
@@Amelia4111 ?
Sometimes he’s not him when he’s hungry
@@Amelia4111 nobody cares
@@Amelia4111 bro who the hell asked
Me too, I honestly don't think gods or deities understand the human concept of good and bad
I think you should knock Giratina down a bit from being pure evil, because back in Pokémon Platinum, it was the one who stopped Cyrus from destroying the world, by dragging him into the Distortion World. Plus, when you look at the Pokémon Generations: A New World, Giratina is literally shown breaking the Red Chains holding Dialga and Palkia.
If Giratina was truly evil, wouldn’t it have wanted Cyrus to destroy the world and for Dialga and Palkia to suffer? Or left the scene after coming out of the shadows to cause mayhem on the Pokémon world? It didn’t. It just kept Cyrus as a hostage and kept an eye on him.
Looking back at Legends: Arceus, Giratina did want to get revenge on Arceus and bring chaos. Well, the game takes place far in the past and Giratina definitely still held a grudge against Arceus. But Pokémon Platinum took place in a more recent time, and it shows that Giratina has learned from its mistakes and became a hero that people refuse to acknowledge.
It’s a very misunderstood legendary, and people tend to ignore the fact that it ultimately saved the universe from destruction. Come on, people. Give it some love!
But it was banned for a reason…..
It canonically murdered people a lot and that's why it was banished. He may not have understood Cyrus's goals and just wanted to kill someone else. And, maybe he's still kind towards Dialga and Palkia as they're basically his brothers. Maybe he didn't exit the Distortion World because Arceus wouldn't let him. He is basically Pokemon's stand in for Satan.
Giratina did that to save its own world.
@@liamtherobot9656yeah, but people (or pokemon) change and in the case of giratina, for the better.
@@jacobs5546 if Legends Arceus didn't happen, I'd agree with you. However, after beating Giratina in PLA its mentioned that Giratina chose to protect the Sinnoh region because of how strong the trainer is.
It's stated that Darkrai has banished itself to avoid causing damage. It also really cares for Cresselia. Seeking it out to help stop itself from causing harm. It's like an adolescent that doesn't know what to do with itself because it has powers that it can't control without help.
Then it should learn if it knows what's good for it. It got a bad reputation, now it's stuck with it
@@eljordinio7647 it's not darkrai at fault though. people are actively seeking it out. not it's fault that it can't hide from anyone because people keep playing hide and seek with it. it needs to actively seek the help of crescelia because of it
@@ionized_salmon6417 if it wants to defend itself so badly it should do what any other Pokemon would do. Use a move, not inflict what it's despised for
@@eljordinio7647 you kinda missed the point, it can't control it's power, it would be like if you just started being radioactive like A nuclear bomb one day when you woke up, and then find out you have already killed everything in a 10 kilometer radius, that does not make you evil cause you don't have any control over it.
@@ElementVoidX still doesn't change the fact people vilify it nonetheless
Darkrai is lawfull good,you find it in isolation for a reason
It's unable to control it's powers and basically any wrong doing caused by it was entirely accidental,Darkrai is afraid of it's own powers and will basically never be seen unless it's threatened or corrupted somehow
That’s chaotic neutral.
@@ohmaneli8106 that is in fact not, the law its going off is its "vow of solitude" so to speak, and its good because it suffers alone to protect those it cant help but hurt. you can argue that lawful might be neutral, but it is nothing if not good
It’s somewhat similar to Mimikyu if you think about it. Mimikyu’s “real” form is going to kill anyone just by looking at it, and it can’t help it (unless it covers itself) but even then, if the secret is spilled out of the bag and someone sees it, wellll…
@@whitearyansaretheonlytrueh8990But those are not even Canon
@@whitearyansaretheonlytrueh8990 Wdym “Dos’nt matter”? Its non Canon. That means in the pokemon canon it didn’t happen so It shouldnt effect Darkrai’s ranking.
I dont really think that Groudon and Kyogre are evil, just oblivious to anything beyond their feud.
They usually slumber like the Regi but once they wake up they try to do their job, expanding the land and the sea. Unfortunately, they keep interrupting each other which leads to devastating clashes. Not only the Earth doesn't need to be expanded more but these two are also fighting.
Yea I don’t think they should be in the evil category. They’re more of a force of nature which is just plain neutral
I also heard in the Pokédex entry’s that Groudon saves people from drowning and Kyogre saves people from drying out so I think they should be true neutrals
Kyorge cares for water types, unlike Groudon.
Yeah, i would place Groudon and Kyogre as mostly Chaotic Neutral
Latios and Latias should have been high up in the list. In the movie about them, latios sacrificed itself and died to save humans and latias fought too
I was about to write something similar, they’re shown to care for others too that they have deemed worthy to trust. Good hearted by nature
@@sonandrew1454 I agreed.
Adding that even was implied that other herds of Latias and Latios came to Altomare, showing that this legendary pokemon are guardians and protectors in general.
true
I agree they should have been number 4 or something. I mean come on one of them sacrificed themselves to save others they should at least be a runner up
Kyogre and Groudon aren't evil, they're just forces of nature. They can't help who they are. They were created to form the land and the oceans. After that they really served no purpose and were sealed away.
Respectful list! You did forget the Lake Trio and the Tapu's though
I think Xerneas should be number 1 on the good side. Nothing gets more benevolent than sacrificing yourself over and over for the sake of the land.
That’s what I said, crazy its so low
This is just the enemies hate for Xerneas. Poor Xerneas
No our bodies would expand too much and we would want to die but it wouldn’t let us die
Is it truly sacrificing itself if it comes back to life?
@@tootall4716 nope
I would argue darkrai is actually good
Even though its a pitch black pokemon and causes nightmares, it seeks out Cresselia to help its victims, also it does play the protagonist role in rise of darkrai. Not to mention, it never intends to hurt others unless its defending itself.
Darkrai is more of a Pokémon that’s cursed than truly cruel, many see it as bad since it’s just causing nightmares, but I see it as more misunderstood than truly cruel
Though I agree it does have an evil role in Mystery dungeon, you can argue it isn't 100% canon as it’s more of an alternate universe than darkrais true form
His role in PokéPark 2 tho was fantastic
The nightmares aren't exactly a good thing regardless of circumstances and is the reason people hate it. It should be locked away forever for that
@@eljordinio7647 but like, if people just left it alone, no nightmares, you can't punish something for existing
@@bigpoggers6507 do people leave it alone or vice versa? No. It's the one who goes near people and causes nightmares. That freak should learn to willingly stay out of people's way or it should be confined there by some kind of barrier or forcefield
If something is considered a menace to society it doesn't deserve any leniency even if it "doesn't mean" to. That excuse doesn't work with just any Pokemon
Sean i think i have to agree darkrai is good,people misunderstand darkrai,darkrai is very good,people dont treat it as a good pokemon though...
I'm not gonna deny that Giratina is a violent creature, and that it was quite antagonistic in LA
But are we gonna ignore it's lore in gen 4? Ya know.... Saving it's siblings from Team Galactic and the whole story of the man with the sword....
Giratina definitely redeem it's self and deserve a spot on the more benevolent side because it serves as a protector from the shadows.
Pretty sure it only stopped Cyrus for its own reasons
@El Jordinio Not according to Legends Arceus.
did ya see how gently it carried that shaymin. It was so gentle. If giratina grabbed it with all his strength the shaymin would have been dead. Plus he kidnapped cyrus and then... just made him live in the distortion world... didnt even try to kill him.
We don't use the word its as a pronoun if there's an apostrophe in it. Can you please not do that anymore?
I personally would have put Celebi a little higher on the good side. It’s used it’s time travel abilities to actively make the world a better place on multiple occasions, and was even willing to give up its very existence to save the world
As someone who just finished his replay of Sky a few days ago it still makes me cry like a bitch
@@kastiloshepherd1892 the Treecko line are my all time favorite Pokémon, and Special Episode 5 gets me in the feels every single time I play it
We don't use the word its as a pronoun if there's an apostrophe in it.
Actually, Darkrai and Creselia care for one another. Darkrai makes mistakes and is naturally just a good hearted pokemon who's very cautious of the world- Rise of Darkrai, it's pokedex entries, and the two parter in Journeys regarding Cresselia and Darkrai confirm this.
Y E S darkrai actually leaved society just for the good sake of the people and pokemon and thats why its dialoge is just ... because he is just alone
Not only that but Darkrai actively seeks out Cresselia and tries to stay near her to prevent its nightmares from killing more people
Anime and movies don’t count. The entries, on the other hand, are definitely something to consider.
In the BDSP event where you catch Darkrai the "narrator" (who i assume was that old man that let us in in the first place) explained that Darkrai doesn't do evil and acctually did same thing as Lugia. Left. It lives in a lonely island to protect everyone from having nightmares or at least less of them.
Maybe, but it still has a terrible reputation which is its own fault
One thing you did leave out during the Giratina segment; it cares about it's home the Distortion Realm. In the movie Giratina and the Sky Warriors, Giratina is shown to be very protective towards his realm. Due to the events of the Darkrai movie, where Dialga and Palkia we're battling each other, and nearly brought forth the end of existence, it actually began to affect the Distortion Realm. This angered Giratina so badly, that it vowed to get revenge on both Dialga and Palkia. Giratina planned on doing this by imprisoning the two gods in the Distortion Realm. Since time and space don't exist in the Distortion Realm, and Giratina is at it's strongest in said realm, it's only fitting that both Dialga and Palkia would be at a disadvantage. And in the Arceus movie, Giratina hadn't forgiven them, and attacked them. Luckily, due to Ash and Co being there when the Creation Trio we're battling, Giratina eventually calmed down and stopped fighting it's brethren. Hell, when an angry Arceus descended and seeked the destruction of Earth, Giratina teamed up with Dialga and Palkia to quell their creator, despite them being at a disadvantage.
I’m interested to know your point though. What does this all lead you to believe as far as Giratina being good or evil?
I always wished we seen Giratina try attacking Palkia as well. Also, I always found it funny how Dialga was so passive during that fight and wasn’t trying to fight Giratina so it just trapped him in a temporary time loop and dipped
What a good boi
I'll be honest, the pokemon anime always makes all pokemon good guys or misunderstood monsters, so I consider it childish asinine these days. So I'm glad he went with game data that actually puts pokemon on a actual good and evil spectrum.
@@franciscopedraza7534 pokemon mystery dungeon did well with this.
I'd like to argue Darkrai is possibly neutral depending on its role. In the movie, it literally almost sacrifices itself to prevent Dialga and Palkia from destroying the fabric of the universe.
Then in game it tried to cover the world in darkness so I guess they both kinda cancel one another out
As someone who absolutely ADORES the Mystery Dungeon series, I love the fact that you are bringing up the influence of the legendaries in said series
Glad you enjoyed! :)
Man I wish Nintendo will bring more of these games into the switch. Pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of sky is by far my favorite in the series.
For some reason they chose to neglect the fact new literature helped save the world from being eaten by the sun in PSMD so in my heart I think it’s at least 3rd
I wouldnt call Groudon or Kyogre evil. Imo they're just forces of nature. Pretty neutral imo.
In the defence of necrozma “you’re not you when you’re hungry…”
Necrozma is in constant pain
That's why I hate it when people say "it's the closest thing pokemon has to an antagonist"
@@SPYROSTSABOURIS it also stole light from other worlds and attacks anyone and anything in its path. It had to be imprisoned. Only evil Pokemon deserve such a fate
@@eljordinio7647 have you considered that It's out of control?
@@SPYROSTSABOURIS it's no excuse for being evil
@@eljordinio7647 That doesn't make it evil. It did that to stop the pain. Even in the anime it was the one that GAVE light to different worlds. It only attacked Lunala and Solgaleo to regain its lost light after protecting the ultra space it lived in from a terrible fate.
I honestly agree with these choices for the most part, but darkrai, kyurem, jirachi, and even necrozma were all ranked way too low. First of all, while darkrai and necrozma are both very dangerous and intimidating, it was how they were made. Necrozma lost their light which kinda forced them to be evil, and darkrai literally can’t control his power over nightmares at all and is a great friend to crescillia. And for kyurem and jirachi, I definitely think they should’ve been placed in the good section or at least very early grey section because while they don’t really do too many good deeds, they don’t really do any bad ones either. Jirachi just sleeps for a really long time, and kyurem is pretty much neutral aside from the exception of a few movies and anime episodes. I’m not trying to attack you and this was one of your best lists yet, but I just feel like some of these pokemon were placed kind of inaccurately.
In the games Kyurem is known to eat people. People are so scared of it they made a wall to keep it out. That’s pretty evil.
Lore aside, Kyurem is pretty evil. That thing freezes all its ice beams and crits all its Draco meteors, I’m traumatized 😭. Also it sorta eats people
@@princesspikachu3915 alr fair point
@@princesspikachu3915lions eat people that doesn’t make them evil
@@20ZZ20 Kyurem is much scarier than a lion. Lions usually stay in their own habitat and people get hurt when they get in the lions territory or when lions are pushed into human places by habitat destruction and drought conditions. Kyurem is traveling specifically into a town to feast upon people without provocation. Kyurem is kind of evil in that regard.
Landorus being a kind pokemon is the biggest cap I've heard. That man is a terrorizing menace in VGC
ikr the meta was about how to counter landrous for many generations
That’s what I was thinking
just a note. Suicune, Entei and Raikou are based on Leopards, Lions and Saber-toothed Tigers respectively, so not dogs. They are infact known as the Legendary Beasts.

"Every Legendary Pokemon"
Missing the Lake trio, the Tapus, and Melmetal line.
Yeah like WTF?
The tapus ultra beast
@LiamTheWise , the Tapus are not ultra beasts, they are the island guardians who actively fought against the ultra beast invasion that happened long before the events of Sun and Moon, and are implied to join the fight once more when the Ultra Beasts return during the events of both the original sun and moon, and the Ultra versions
Aren't they mythical? But then again so is zeraora and mew idk bro
@@valysheev Mythical Pokémon are Pokémon that can only be obtained through events (IDK is Deoxys is still considered a mythical) The Tapus and the lake trio are legendary because they are found in the game. Melmetal line IS mythical, because they cannot be found in normal Pokémon games, only in GO, and in the event where they gave out a G-max melmetal. Zerorora and mew are mythicals because they are only given out in events.
The thing about Kyurem is that unlike Ultra Necrozma, Kyurem is not in its complete form. The two Dragons Zekrom and Reshiram were one being. But Kyurem having conflicting opinions of Truth and Ideas caused it to separate into the the two Dragons, Reshiram and Zekrom leaving Kyurem a husk of its former self. Which the two brothers used as tools of war against one another and their followers.
I hope one day we can get Kyurem's true from unlocked.
I'm pretty sure that as it is, Kyurem is more an undead husk, than just a husk of it's former self (it's referred to in the decision as a husk, which in most cases, the husk of a living being is kind of a living corpse)
Yeah Kyurem is just a sentient corpse. Pretty sad. Also he’s not inherently evil. He’s more a chaotic neutral. In the Kyurem movie he’s shown to have morals, mercy and better judgement. Also he prefers isolation and solitude
@@bootstop5817 that's cool. I haven't seen the movie, but now I want to watch it from what you told me about him. Gen 5 are my favorite legendary Dragons
I think the one pokemon I don't agree with here is Giratina. I believe that after the events of Arceus, it realised that vengeance did nothing but harm those with no connection to it. It realised what happens if you try to erase, change, or merge worlds, which is why in platinum it drags Cyrus into the distortion realm, and why in the Anime it frees Palkia and Dialga. It knows those two are needed for balance, it knows Cyrus is making the same mistake it made all those years ago, and that's also why I believe it didn't kill Cyrus. It knew Cyrus was making a mistake, the same mistake it made, so it probably knew it had no authority to kill Cyrus for that reason, hence letting him instead live in the distortion realm instead so he could cause no harm to anyone else. Much like how it's now self exiled itself to the distortion realm.
Honestly I disagree with this for many reasons.
Necrozma is the way he is because he lost his light, he’d probably be more on the good if he never lost it.
Giratina did help Volo destroy the world, but in Platinum he stops Cyrus from doing the same
Overall I feel Deoxys is the most evil because he literally tried to destroy Hoenn on PURPOSE
Necrozma’s Story is Way more than in the Anime so yeah he’s suppose to be good
Deoxys never tried to destroy Hoenn on purpose. In the games it was just hitching a ride on the meteor. In the 7th Pokémon movie Destiny Deoxys it was trying to find it’s friend and was only kidnapping Pokémon and people so that it could find it’s friend easier and none of the characters were harmed by it. Deoxys is purely neutral.
@@princesspikachu3915 ok
@@MorrisPXG he should be in the gray area because he’s not completely heartless he’s learning to feel bad for others
@@princesspikachu3915 Yeah if u go to a scientist back at the space area, they say that Deoxys was not intending to harm anything, and was actually seeking out Hoenn for something. Based on the fact that is has been shown that Zygarde was able to tell that ultra beast were appearing in Alola, my guess is that it might have also been coming to warn Rayquaza about the Ultra Beast or something.
Did you forget the lake trio, the Tapus, Phione, and Melmetal?

@@randomname285 ye me too
Ah yes “Necrozma steals light so it is evil”
Instead of
“Necrozma is attempting to take its light BACK”
Lets not forget who had that light in the first place
Also throughout the whole game they talk about how it had light and gave it away charitably but they got greedy and stole the light causing it endless pain and that the ultra recon squad wanted to right their wrongs and save it. Based on all the lore if anything Necrozma was benevolent before we ruined its life after which point we caused it to basically always be starving for its energy source and in constant agonizing pain so it goes after any and all light to fruitlessly replace the light that was stolen from it. I imagine it would be like having your lungs stolen and no matter how much you inhale you can't actually get oxygen.

@@eljordinio7647DO. IT. NOW.
Why does everyone assume that Giratina is evil? Sure he was in Legends Arceus. But learned his lesson, as seen In Diamond and Pearl. he actually helped defeat the bad guy and save the world. Redemption arc.
I would have put Eternatus higher in evil at least to bronze (Especially given how it nearly ended the world... twice) but the ones higher but are pretty evil. (And Kyurem is literally pretty heartless.) Also, Giratina doesn't use the Distortion World to create the space-time distortions but angers Dialga and Palkia to mess with space and time. While I initially thought he should be gold in evil, he does eventually become good and stops Cyrus and helps the planet in Platinum. He's one of the few Pokemon in the series to have character development next to Calyrex. So Giratina is maybe on two points on the list?
I think Eternatus is misunderstood, in the first time the Darkest Day happened, it was unable to release energy smoothly while in the meteor for so long, so when it woke up all that energy exploded out, causing space and time to distort and pokemon to Dynamax, but it never actually attacked everything, and the second time, the same thing happened just the energy it had released before what now being given back to it AND it couldn't release energy, so the same thing happened when it came out again. Also the reason why the anime annoyed me so much, it didn't deserve to be sealed up, and they are also just basically asking for another Darkest Day to happen again, as it is now stuck deep underground just like before when it was in the meteor. I actually have some proof for this as Eternamax Eternatus's pokedex entry says that its Eternamax form is an overloaded form caused by Ross's meddling. Although I do agree that Giratina should be more on the neutral side, maybe evil in the past, but good in the currant time.
Kyurem is a representation of _wuji_ which translates to literal nothingness.
@@JamesDavy2009 Noice, more ways to make fun of him. You have given me to much power, mortal.
I agree with Arceus being #1 on the Pure Good scale, but I don’t think Darkrai deserves its spot on the evil scale. Darkrai might give nightmares, but it has been shown that it can’t actually stop that from happening. The anime has also shown that Darkrai and Cresselia are friends, with Cresselia visiting Darkrai on its island so it won’t be lonely. True, Darkrai is an antagonist in Mystery Dungeon, but I’m not even sure Mystery Dungeon is canon. Even if it was can we hold that all versions of Darkrai accountable for that one’s actions?
The journeys anime is canon and rise of darkrai is canon bcuz of the episode where tobias uses darkrai ash remembers it so yeah
@@RayTheFijiWater I know that journeys is canon, I was saying it is unclear if the Mystery Dungeons series can be considered "canon", since the only reason Darkrai seems to be ranked so far into the Evil side is because there happened to be one evil Darkrai in that series, even though Darkrai has been shown as heroic everywhere else.
I don’t think Arceus deserves to be #1 good. There was an entire movie where it tried to destroy humanity and even Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina for “siding with the humans”. Arceus should be considered lowered on the list simply for wanting all of humanity dead over something that wasn’t even what it seemed. It thought it had been betrayed but it wasn’t. It’s human friend was being controlled by a Pokémon using hypnosis and “god” couldn’t figure that out and wanted to punish every single human for one evil human’s actions. Truly Arceus deserves to be on the evil list but I haven’t played Legends Arceus (don’t plan to either) so I can’t say for how it is there. But in the movie it’s actions are really evil if you think about it.
Yeah Darkrai isn't evil just misunderstood.
@@AlphaWolfHowl Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Darkrai: hi
I think Xerneas and Yveltal deserve to be at the same spot on the list, seeing as they’re both just doing their jobs.
I also feel Kyurem should be above Zekrom and Reshiram. It was a dragon that just wanted to help it’s friends, and they repaid him by splitting him in 2 over their pointless argument.
Kyurem eats people, it's literally why no one in Lacunosa town comes out after dark, and why there's a stone wall around the town
@@brendanboomhour7606 Kyurem eating people is a folk tale.
You’re not told the information through the Pokédex, but from an NPC telling you what their parents told them to keep them from going out after dark.
@@pooppooper9033 a lot of folk tales have at least some truth to them, besides, Lacunosa's wall has to be there for a reason

Even though its a pitch black pokemon and causes nightmares, it seeks out Cresselia to help its victims, also it does play the protagonist role in rise of darkrai. Not to mention, it never intends to hurt others unless its defending itself.

I would put the Swords of Justice MUCH higher. It only seemed like they were so low because they attack humans. BUT they only do it to help weak Pokemon that are being hurt by people. Human interaction shouldn’t have an effect of how good or bad a Pokémon is.
But then by that logic no pokemon would be bad and all would be good or neutral except Eternatus
Every pokemon being misunderstood if it even exhibits any deviant behavior just makes it less impact full in any way

I think Darkrais placement is extremely unfair, it is always stated to mean good and feel sorrow as it cannot control its powers. Mystery dungeon is not canon.
I’d have to put Rayquaza above the horse Pokemon. Saves the world by quelling Groudon and Kayogre when they fight is a little more impressive than saving just a forest.

Can someone explain to me how Xerneas, a pokemon giver of live, who, before hibernating decides to give all its live force to those around itself so low on the list?
"Giver of life" includes granting people immortality. And it will do that worldwide if it wasn't for Yveltal. It may not have ill intent but watch the anime "Sunday without god" to see how giving immortality to everyone in the world without consent is bad.
@@revolvingworld2676 nothing with long term negative consequences ever happens in that show though?
Because it gives immortality. Without Yveltal, nobody would die. Xerneas made everything immortal however Arceus created Yveltal to counter this.
Other Pokémon on this list just do better things in it
@@tanandalynch9441 Yin and yang done better than the Pokémon who represent truth and ideals. Without death, life ceases to have meaning and without life, death is a meaningless concept.
Diancie would be in the good because not only is she kind but is a Princess and she treats her subjects with kindness in the Pokemon Movie
About Mew, in the first movie, in Japan, quote "Mew declares that all unnatural life (ie, clones) are inferior to the originals, and thus should perish."
But, you also forgot to mention Mirage Mew in The Mastermind of Mirage Pokemon, where this "imitation" Mew sacrifices itself to save lives.
Or when Mew attacked Ash and the gang in Pokemon Journeys. It almost killed them with a Hyper Beam.
Idkk Darkrai isn’t that evil (at least in my eyes) as they’re known to only induce nightmares to protect themself.
Also Yvetal is the literal embodiment of death it’s not their fault people don’t like the idea of dying~
Giratina has also performed some good deeds like stopping Cyrus.
One more thing- where are the Guardian Dieties??
I agree. Especially with darkrai. The dex literally says it means no harm, yet some people in the general public don’t look deep in the lore of pokemon and say that Darkrai is evil and other stuff that is not related to the canon portions in the game and anime. It was to the point where I had to use the Litwik line because Litwik actually lure people to steal their life force. Smh i guess 🫡
@@kat_plays7999 yeah so what? No Pokemon that causes any kind of harm is even slightly good, especially with a bad reputation that causes it to be hated. It still causes harm regardless of intentions
@@eljordinio7647 and this is why i have no further interest in talking to u ab this. We won’t see eye to eye, but i tried having an open mind. Stop pinging me in your comments bc it’s genuinely annoying now
there is no evil pokemon if we follow your logic, and them there will be no list. Pokemon that are evil in this list is more because their actions do harm, even if the pokemon intention is not to cause it.
@@sonofcronos7831
Yes, but some Pokémon actually are malicious. Although there are some in here that, while they seem dark, are just trying to eat or something along those lines, like Gengar.
I love that you put a water energy card behind Lugia.
raquazza is dead ass just a very smart pokémon, he’s neutral, he doesn’t hate or like anyone but helps people and pokémon for the greater good of humanity and the safety for the world
Arceus and all of the creation trio are probably fairly close or at complete neutral. Sure some of their powers can be misused and Giratina has some evil tendencies, but ultimately they all keep a balance. Arceus is by no means a benevolent deity but is too powerful for anyone else to control. Palkia and Dialga can be controlled but are otherwise leaning in the direction of good. Giratina is definitely leaning towards evil but is also the one that prevents anyone from using Palkia or Dialga.
I think you forgot about the lake trio!
Mesprit, Azelf, and Uxie
Where are Phione and the Lake Trio (Mesprit, Azelf, and Uxie)? I know footage of the former was featured in this video. But only for its relative of sorts, Manaphy. I think all of them would lie somewhere in the Good. Phione for being similar to Manaphy, who’s also good, and the Lake Trio for their duties in Emotion, Courage, and Knowledge.
I think I would probably put Victini a bit lower due to its ability to be used by a malevolent force and its lack of agency in such a case
(Similar to Zygarde)
They’re really not evil at all,they’re just doing they’re jobs. Legendary Pokémon are essentially forces of nature given physical form.
*AMAZING* Video
Wow there are so many Legendary & Mythical Pokemon these days & you missed some of them. Tapu Bulu is the most evil of the Tapus you skipped for its role in cursing the Abandoned Megamart. Giratina is more Neutral in that it is tasked with the lonely job of providing balance to the world by guarding the Distortion World & has been shown to have a sense of justice even if it is known for being brutal.
Tapu Bulu only did what it did because it was pissed that humans built that thing on sacred land. That very act was what caused shades of the forbidden to manifest in a form that would kill you if you look directly at them. Those shades are the species known as Mimikyu.
All-mighty phione was also missing.
I think all legendary Pokémon are basically neutral because they were made to fill a natural role but if any are considered “evil” I would say mewtwo fits that bill
A good portion of the pokemon seem to become hostile or "evil" due to human influence, not so sure if they should be considered evil when defending themselves :/
I can't help but to say this, the anime of Darkrai in Journey, Darkrai seems to just uncontrollably cause nightmares on mass within its presence and is often blamed by the victims of the nightmares while also caring about his counterpart Cresselia when Team Rocket tried to capture it. Just putting my thoughts out.
Nightmares, regardless of circumstances, are inexcusable. Controlling its powers is something it needs to learn to do whether it likes it or not
@@eljordinio7647 While it is capable of inflicting nightmares directly, you can’t really control nightmares at will, it just happens and when around Darkrai it seems more frequent. Plus Darkrai isn’t the only one that has a side trait to it. When Yveltal’s life ends, it ends up taking everyone and thing down with it in who knows how far.
@@TempestGhost neither circumstance is excusable. Darkrai should learn to control its nightmarish abilities whether it wants to or not and when Yveltal's life ends, it should just die and be gone. It's already a living evil bird of death so it dying wouldn't be a bad thing
@@eljordinio7647 You’re missing the point. Yveltal is part of the natural order of life and death. Without death, people and pokemon would have to deal with living forever and that’s not as good as it sounds along with just the mass overpopulation. Besides in Darkrai’s case, that’s why there Cressilia. Many of these big role pokemon always has a counterpart which keeps things working like how they should, you can’t have one without the other.
@@TempestGhost their counterpart is also there to keep the bad one from running amok and destroying the place or causing further harm. Counterparts or not there are some Pokemon in the world who are just naturally evil because of what they do or represent, with Yveltal being no exception. Least Xerneas is a bearer of life instead of destruction
You could consider landorus to be a bit evil in competitive lol
Koraidon and Miraidon are probably neutral, from the games we learn that some can be friendly and some can be ruthless. As for the ruinous pokemon those are definitely on the evil side cause they’re literally created out of negative emotions
Yeah they're about as neutral as a cyclizar which is as neutral as probably any other pokémon
they murdered the professors. causing them to neglect their child. and be replaced by an ai.
This was such a great video. It’s very much appreciated!!
Arceus is not actually pure good. It represents everything, the good, the bad, the dark, the light, hence it’s normal typing. It should be pure neutral
The Arceus we see it's not even his true form, just an emanation, at least this is what is said in Legends
@@ilDSttaro exactly
He created the universe bruh
@@liamtherobot9656 arceus is pure neutral cause WHEN HIS OWN SONS WERE BEING USED TO DESTROY THE UNIVERSE. who saved dialga and palkia? giratina, not arceus
@@Help_beff_get_100_subs I think he created them the balance of the universe time space and anti-Mater not for them to destroy the universe
I was hoping for a video with Legendary and Mystical Pokémons: Weak to Powerful
I like this video, but there is one gripe I have with it: destructive capabilities do not make someone evil. It's what they do with it and why that makes them evil
Most important video that’s totally relevant. 10/10. I watched it all the way through. Ads included.
I would say that victini is more true neutral, in the same way that a gun can be used to hurt or protect, boundless energy is not good or bad and depending who it bestows that energy upon they could use it for good or evil.
Pokemon that deserve a higher ranking: Giratina. It honestly gets a bad rep, becoming the world's guardian by the events of Platinum.
I agree that it belongs a bit higher, but not too much. Also…
Pokémon that deserve a lower ranking:
Mewtwo. If you remove all the non-canon stuff (anime, movies, manga, etc.) everything left is “Top 10 of Evil” material.
@@Joseph_Drew_III The anime is canon, and considering that over 90% of Legendary Pokemon otherwise amount to "Here's a really cool, powerful, hard to catch, one-of-a-kind creature you can catch" in regards to the story in the games and they rarely appear in the anime proper... Movies have to be considered.
@@BenMan8881 Except neither of those is actually true. If the anime was canon, Ash would’ve popped up in the core rpgs by now. And Pokédex descriptions give us PLENTY.
@@Joseph_Drew_III but they don't have personality in the games. Even Pokemon that are supposedly lethal just to stand near, like Litwik, act the same as every other Pokemon in the games. So, unless we use another source, 90% of all Legendary Pokemon's actions could be chalked up to "it's just their nature", meaning almost every Pokemon would have to be in the grey area.
@@BenMan8881 Maybe that’s because, you know, it wouldn’t be fun to boot up the game and instantly just be stabbed by a Weedle. Just open up your Pokédex and read the entry! It’s not that hard.
Well researched video crated by a True Fan.
Respect
Such an amazing video!
I don’t think Giratina is evil, I think it is a merciless force of nature that exists as it is in all its cataclysmic glory. Independent of motives related to good and evil.
Giratina is a vengeful Pokemon like shown in the movies and show. It's not evil, it's not entirely good more like an anti hero. Giratina has shown some heroic attributes too. He just wants to be left alone.
Enamorus should be the 50/50 Neutral Mark or at least among them. She’s the Love-Hate Pokémon, and all Pokémon that represent equals yet opposites they can never be good or evil rather both at the same time. It’s a pendulum that swings back and forth, like Order and Chaos. Good and Evil.
Wowwwww your part about Zygarde made me so sad about the lack of a pokemon Z again😭
An very interesting video to understand the Pokemon world more better than before
The top one who isn’t really evil is Kyurem. Kyurem across multiple forms of media and movies / show is a Pokémon who prefers solitude. He gets violent when provoked and has some sort of care / understanding as when he warned Ash to leave his home before trying to force him out. Kyurem though is extremen. I wouldn’t say evil. Rash is a better word. But from the times he is left alone, he doesn’t bother people. Kyurem also has a warriors heart. In the movie he has his own set of code and morals that he upholds. He goes as far as complimenting Keldeo and awarding him his respect / approval as a sword of justice. But Kyurem is indeed selfish and acts more as an animal in his own interests. While not evil he is more chaotic neutral.
I don't think Darkrai should be as low on the list as it is.
There are more instances both in-game and in other media, where Darkrai is more of an Anti-Hero/Neutral Pokémon.
Darkrai cannot directly control its power to cause Bad Dreams, so it isolates itself on purpose to avoid causing people those nightmares. The only time it ever comes near people is when it is lured away from home or if it senses a looming threat (like in the anime, where Darkrai flew away from new moon island to find Cresselia when she was injured and even blasted away the clouds so Cresselia could heal under the moonlight).
Darkrai is as distrusting of humans as Mewtwo or Volcanion, but doesn't actively hurt humans unless they hurt it first.
This video was well written and the narrator was really nice to listen to.. 👍
Rayquaza and Giratina are kindred spirits; they represent a fundamental force of nature, they’re the strongest of their trio, and they really only care when someone messes with their house. If that’s the case then why is Rayquaza neutral to good while Giratina’s evil? In Platinum, Jewel of Life, and Sky Warrior, it can be argued that it only acted neutrally to benevolently. The only reason it attacked Shaymin was for it’s ability to get it out of the time loop that Dialga put it in. It’s not territorial about people in the distortion world unlike the very territorial Rayquaza. After it’s all said and done Giratina enjoyed interacting with other Pokémon and showed a level of respect towards the humans and Shaymin unlike Rayquaza that just goes home to take a nap. It started out evil but it certainly mellowed out during its time out.
Rayquaza is a guardian in most games. Even the anime. Hoopa almost destroyed the world until Ray came. Rayquaza Lugia y latios took on almost the entire list of bad Pokémon. It was giratina groudon, kyorge, hoopa, Kyurem, Palkia, and Dialga. To be fair, good hoopa also helped. So good hoopa vs bad hoopa
Nice to see mythicals included in along side legendaries
But i guess if we cant count mythicals in we cany have arceus in
My god this video makes me wanna catch up on all the games and Movies I have missed which I think is 95% of it by this point...
“Latios and Latias are both highly intelligent and can actually understand human speech” Can’t lol of them…
38:35 kyurem was being controlled by a machine to unwillingly obey ghetsis though. Kyurem’s not evil at all, the point was to literally save it from ghetsis
Kyurem once fused does not act on any hate but rather truth and ideals
my boy lugia has the best design and battle combo in my book
I think you actually missed a few legendary Pokémon… I didn’t see Azelf, Mesprit, or Uxie anywhere on this list. Nor did you mention Phione at all. No Meltan or Melmetal.
A lot of people think of Phione as a Fake Mythical Pokemon with it basically being an easily bred weaker version of Manaphy. The Lake Guardians & Tapus though had no reason to be skipped.
@@bookmew1081 my man mad respect to this guy for going through as many as he did though
They’re pretty much minor legendary’s
@@liamtherobot9656 I dont think that at least the tapus are minor, because they are basically the secondary faces of aloha, the first being sun and moon of course
I feel like most good mons are tied, like meloetta is literally perfectly pure, it doesn't do evil, or Victini just helps people.
Grew up watching pokemon it feels good to see people still talking about pokemon ❤😂
I think there’s a difference between “good” and “favourable to human”
facts there was a guy somewhere saying that Darkrai was evil because it causes nightmares even when it purposely seeks Creselia so it limits the harm it causes
@@EliteAura680 he's still doing it, don't worry. He'll find this eventually
I kept track of this whole list and you missed Melmetal
You forgot to mention the Lake Guardians, the Guardian Deities, and Meltan.

I swear if necrozma is in the evil category you really need to take another look at the lore
Explain
@@Yesenn necrozma is in constant pain and is trying to be whole again
Imagine being all powerful, then loosing your powers, being in constant pain and then be called evil
@@Yesenn he is all powerful in ultra space .he is worshipped as god in different universe .he lost his power in the process of protecting the world just like Arceus in the movie .he was trying to regain his power in pain and in order to restore the world again . imagine being the god of light and one of the most important being in multiverse and people called u evil just because you trying regain your power for ultimate good.reminder after regaining the power even tho it's not complete ( manga conformed that ultra form is not the original form of necrosma) he returned all the lights he stolen from different universe.
Same with darkrai.
He also tries to consume all the light in Alola and did so in many other realms of ultra space. Pain or not he literally consumes the light of whatever world he is in and cares naught for the consequences of doing so.

Giratina isn’t evil, he’s just misunderstood😔
its interesting to judge Zygarde as neutral because the outcome can be circumstantial because the same can be applied to other pokemon as well. Victini was placed as “good” because he lends energy to those around him (or her idk). but would he do the same for the antagonists?
i hope i dont come off as sounding rude. im just curious.
I feel that's the issue here. Most pokemons are neutral and even acuoos is neutral because I remember a movie where the lama god went crazy and started attack with its three children fighting back.
Groudon and especially P-Groudon is a good Pokemon. It makes the sun shine and is fighting a annoying fish. Good Giant Lizard.
Great video!!
I feel that darkrai should be in the Grey area because it is confirmed that in its first appearance in pokemon diamond and pearl he isn't giving the nightmares on purpose and went into hiding on new moon island to avoid giving any more nightmares to any body else also where is phione it is a mythical
I kinda disagree when it comes to Darkrai. Sure the nightmares aren't on purpose but it nonetheless gained a bad reputation for them. If anything, it's a menace
@@eljordinio7647 yeah but darkrai having a bad reputation doesn't mean it's evil it also isolated itself to prevent giving nightmares to any more Pokemon or human leaving it living all alone on new moon island and yes it's a menace but not by being evil the nightmare power is out of darkrai's control
@@z-dawggog53 menace is still bad in my book and a lack of control is no excuse. It should learn to get a leash on its own abilities
@@eljordinio7647 how would it learn to stop it? Obviously it wouldnt be secluding itself if it could learn to control it. It probably tried to figure it out. DARKRAI OBVIOUSLY WOULD WANT TO CONTROL ITS NIGHTMARES! IF IT COULD LEARN TO IT WOULD! BUT OBVIOUSLY IT FAILED AND IS SECLUDING ITSELF TO PREVENT ITSELF FROM HURTING ANYONE ELSE AND TO LEARN HOW TO PROPERLY CONTROL ITS POWERS! ITS LIKE SAYING "This 1 month old child can make anything it touches explode. it has killed 1000 people. it is going to be executed tommorrow" ... its a baby. it doesn't know how to control its powers. it cant even think coherent thoughts yet. thats the same principle for darkrai. darkrai cant control it. but hes aware. so he secludes himself and stays close to cresselia to prevent it from happening. also if someone kills someone who was evil would that make them a menace? because they killed that person because they were evil. they did it for good. darkrai sacrificed its life multiple times to save people. cresselia and every living being. darkrai is good. he is pure good. just because he cant control his powers doesnt mean he doesnt try to. hed want to to stop hurting others.
@@eljordinio7647 "J.J. Jonah here, the Spider Menace is at it again!"
Also, it literally can't. Like at all. It somewhat does because it can put people to sleep to inflict nightmares, but it's literally incapable of preventing this.
